What!?
"Is… is that true?"
"Yes. Not just because of last night. I also heard from the knights that you've helped me before. If you're that skilled, I'd really prefer to have you close by. That's how I honestly feel. What do you say? Will you consider it?"
The prince's expression was very serious, and Rafayel could tell this wasn't a joke. But since he had just decided to start learning medicine, he couldn't simply accept the offer.
"…Your Highness… I truly appreciate your kind words. But the truth is, I don't know much about medicine yet. I may have strong magic power, so I'm good at using light magic, but that alone doesn't mean I have enough knowledge to be your personal physician. I'm very sorry, but I must decline your offer."
Hearing that, the prince looked sad and turned his gaze away.
Feeling bold, Rafayel quickly offered an alternative.
"Ah… um, Your Highness! I know this might be out of place, but… could you wait until I reach adulthood?"
